Intro: Gm F6 D D7 D x4
Gm F6 D
Cracks rack the windows
Gm F6 D
Howls hold the floor
Gm F6 D
Rains rot the rafters
A7 D
And do you just have to snore?
Gm F6 D
It's a most inclement climate
Gm F6 D
for the season of the night
Gm F6 D
Is that mouse playing football, oh
A7 D D D7 D
I thought they didn't like the light?
Em
And the dawn comes sneaking up
Em (7th fret)
When it thinks I'm not looking
G7
I am starting to grieve, man
I used to know but now I believe, man.
They tell me sleep is a gas
and if I want to lay down
C
But I'm sorry I woke you
D7 G7
I mean I've got the no sleep blues.
Gm F6 D
There's mayhem in this mansion
Gm F6 D
Since the cows were coming home
Gm F6 D
With delirium no sleepum
A7 D
In a cloud of nylon foam
Gm F6 D
But release scours the outhouse
Gm F6 D
And a hard rain sears the sky
Gm F6 D
But if you let the pigs decide it
A7 D D D7 D
They will put you in the sty.
Em
And the dawn comes sneaking up
Em (7th fret)
When it thinks I'm not looking
G7
I am starting to grieve, man
I used to know but now I believe, man.
They tell me sleep is a gas
and if I want to lay down
C
But I'm sorry I woke you
D7 G7
I mean I've got the no sleep blues.
Gm F6 D
I think I'll get a picture
Gm F6 D
And I think I'll put it on a nail.
Gm F6 D
I think I'll geeeet another one
A7 D
And put it in a pail.
Gm F6 D
But the pail got so rusty
Gm F6 D
I called it red, red, red for fun
Gm F6 D
And I laughed like a leaver
A7 D D D7 D
till you ought to seen it run.
Em
And the dawn comes sneaking up
Em (7th fret)
When it thinks I'm not looking
G7
I am starting to grieve, man
I used to know but now I believe, man.
They tell me sleep is a gas
and if I want to lay down
C
But I'm sorry I woke you
D7 G7
I mean I've got the no sleep blues.
Gm F6 D
The size of the future
Gm F6 D
declared itself no part
Gm F6 D
Aloof like a Sultan
A7 D
in the autumn of your heart
Gm F6 D
But the heart got so hearty
Gm F6 D
that it pulled for the shore
Gm F6 D
And the sailors fired a big salute
A7 D
and it made my ears quite sore.
Em
And the dawn comes sneaking up
Em (7th fret)
When it thinks I'm not looking
G7
I am starting to grieve, man
I used to know but now I believe, man.
They tell me sleep is a gas
and if I want to lay down
C
But I'm sorry I woke you
D7 G7
I mean I've got the no sleep blues.
Gm F6 D
I mixed stones and water
Gm F6 D
just to see what it would do
Gm F6 D
And the water it got stoney
A7 D
and the stones got watery too
Gm F6 D
So I mixed my feet with water
Gm F6 D
just to see what could be seen
Gm F6 D
And the water it got dirty
A7 D D D7 D
and the feet they got quite clean.
Em
And the dawn comes sneaking up
Em (7th fret)
When it thinks I'm not looking
G7
I am starting to grieve, man
I used to know but now I believe, man.
They tell me sleep is a gas
and if I want to lay down
C
But I'm sorry I woke you
D7 G7
I mean I've got the no sleep blues.
